History and Evolution of the Study Area Attachment 4: Historic Yonge Street HCD – History and Evolution History and Evolution of the Study Area This section examines the history and evolution of the HCD study area. It draws on research that was completed as part of a built form and landscape survey, and background research of historical documents including maps from key periods in Toronto’s history. Key Development Periods Yonge Street’s History is characterized by its dual role as a major transportation route and a commercial main street. These roles connect several different periods in its history and solidify its importance to Toronto, Ontario, and Canada. From its initial survey as a transportation route between the Town of York and Lake Simcoe in 1796, Yonge Street was intended to drive the economy of when Toronto was incorporated in 1834, but it also emerged as a key commercial street in the new city, especially as the population swelled and development pushed northward. The weight of Yonge Street’s history is demonstrated in it being known informally as “Toronto’s Main Street”. For the purposes of this report the history of the study area has been divided into seven periods: • The Natural Landscape and Aboriginal Occupation • Initial Survey of Yonge Street • Early Settlement and Establishment of Park Lots (1800-1850) • Sub-Division of Park Lots (1850-1870) • Main Street Development and Early Public Transportation (1870-1900) • !"##!"$#% • Subway Construction and Modern Redevelopment (1930-1970) • 1970s to Present Day (1970-present) Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District 1 Figure 1.

The Natural Landscape and Aboriginal missionaries traveling to and from Huronia. There are vague Occupation accounts of two Aboriginal sites located in the general vicinity of the study area. The Taddle Creek site is thought to have been a Late Woodland village located at Clover Hill, and later, the former Davenport Road, at the north end of the HCD study area follows estate of John Elmsley, which was eventually developed for the shore of glacial Lake Iroquois, which came into existence St. Michael’s College University. The Sandhill site is reportedly around 12,000 years ago (Chapman and Putnam 1984). The a burial site or cemetery located near the southwest corner of waters of this lake then gradually receded to such an extent that the intersection of Yonge Street and Bloor Street (Scadding 1873, by roughly 3,000 years ago the shoreline was established more 399-400). or less in the location at which it stood when the Town of York was founded. A number of minor creeks ran through the general study area prior to nineteenth and twentieth century urban development.

Another creek, Castle Frank Brook, which was a minor tributary of the Don River that rose in the Dufferin </> ravine to the immediate north of the study area. Castle Frank Brook was also known as Brewery or Severn Creek, and was named after Severn’s Brewery which was located near Davenport Road and Collier Street. Davenport Road preserves the route of an inland Aboriginal trail, skirting the Lake Iroquois strand line and linking the Don and Humber rivers. It was later utilized by French explorers and 2 DIALOG - Philip Goldsmith - Archaeological Services Inc. - Carl Bray Figure 2.

  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

  • Toronto Tunnels Plan
    TORONTO TUNNELS PLAN 1 Toronto Tunnels Plan After reviewing traffic counts and traffic patterns throughout the City of Toronto using the latest traffic counts from the City’s transportation department, it clearly shows that the west end of the city has higher traffic levels and is prone to gridlock more than the east end. For example, traffic volumes on Highway 401 at Keele Street reach a peak of approximately 400,000 vehicles per day while volumes on Highway 401 in Scarborough is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. Similarly, traffic volumes on the Gardiner Expressway at Dunn Avenue is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day while volume at Cherry Street at the expressway’s east end is approximately 85,000 vehicles per day. Also, there is a lack of a continuous north-south expressway between Highway 401 and the Gardiner Expressway between Highway 427 and the Don Valley Parkway, which is a width of nearly 20 kilometres. The only exception is the incomplete Allen Expressway which terminates at Eglinton Avenue. This area is served by a 2 network of local streets which are very narrow and often congested. Similarly, Highway 400 turns into Black Creek Drive south of Highway 401, which is a heavily congested arterial road which connects into very narrow local streets south of Eglinton Avenue. The area bounded by Highway 401 in the north, Highway 427 in the west, the Don Valley Parkway in the east and the Gardiner Expressway in the south is entirely made up of narrow four-lane local streets which are heavily congested and serving local businesses.

    Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Compiled by Harold Averill July 2004 26th revision, June, 2019 © University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services, 2019 Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Introduction Since 1965 the University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services has been acquiring, preserving and making available the documentary heritage of the University of Toronto as a permanent resource in support of the operational, educational and research needs of the University community and the general public. Over the years, the thousands of researchers who have used the Archives have produced a huge number of articles, books, theses and other publications, and material has also been used in films, videos, radio, stage and other multi-media productions. In 2004 Harold Averill, the Assistant University Archivist, initiated a project to capture the record of this research. This ongoing project is designed to draw the reader’s attention to the range of research that has been conducted at University of Toronto Archives and, by implication, the wealth of our holdings. The listings include published or produced material only and, while comprehensive, make no claim to be complete. It is currently divided into four sections: books, articles, catalogues and pamphlets; theses and research papers; plays; and moving image material. Other sections will be added as information becomes available. Researchers are invited to submit the results of their research for inclusion. Please provide full bibliographic record(s) to [email protected] A. Books, articles, catalogues, and pamphlets A guide to architectural records in the University of Toronto Archives.
